FUMING Gary Wilson stunned fans at the UK Championship exit after throwing his cue in anger over his opponent’s frequent toilet breaks.
The 37-year-old snooker star, who is a former semi-finalist, suffered a surprise 6-4 defeat to rookie Andres Petrov.
The Estonian, his nation’s first-ever pro snooker player, claimed the victory in the qualifying match for the tournament.
Wilson is nicknamed the “Tyneside Terror”.
And he lost his temper in the controversial clash at Ponds Forge in Sheffield.
He first vented his anger when Petrov luckily potted a pink with a "triple" after going for the double in the fifth frame.

The huge outsider then put out his hand to apologise for his lucky effort, but Wilson responded by launching his cue to the ground.
He then took his seat, but the drama was far from done.
Wilson conceded the sixth frame as his foe extended his lead to 5-1 in the best of 11 clash.
Petrov then headed straight out of the arena following the frame, but the Englishman’s anger boiled to the surface again as his opponent took another toilet break.

He initially went back to his seat, but Wilson soon protested with the referee over the frequency of Petrov's toilet visits.
Wilson blasted: “He doesn't need the toilet.
“He's been the first frame, he's been the first frame after the interval and he just went again there now – he doesn't need the toilet.”
The pumped-up Wilson fought back into the match to trail 5-4.
However, Petrov would edge him out to set up a match against Chinese star Xiao Guodong for a spot in the UK Championship.
